Carluke Amateur Operatic
Society
(Lanarkshire, Scotland) The first page is most off-putting with a
very busy background, lots of cheesy clip art and a very disorganised
feel. There are embedded sound files (i.e.no option to switch them
off). There's a lot there, including photographs of past presidents
going back many years, and there's a members' section which has links
to various Word documents, which generate 404 errors. Not an easy
site to read, and even less easy to enjoy

Theatre
(Birkenhead) The usual info - about the group and the theatre, the
current production, how to get there, photographs and past productions.
I experienced some difficulties with the Past Productions page but
others report no problems. Awful cheesy music accompanies the home
page, with no option to turn it off.
Carver Theatre
The link above takes you to a Flash page which is quite large, has
an embedded sound file and, as always, is slow to download. To bypass
it, click here.
